Perhaps best-known for its sporting and entertainment credentials, Wembley actually has plenty more strings to its bow. The world-famous Wembley Stadium and revamped SSE Arena are certainly highlights, but the area has been transformed in recent years into a highly appealing residential neighbourhood. Significant redevelopment works have seen Wembley emerge as a stylish and contemporary hotspot with a varied selection of award-winning new homes, bucketloads of culture and a surprisingly well-developed foodie scene.
Thanks to its melting pot of nationalities, Wembley is something of a window onto the world. Wembley restaurants traditionally spanned spice-scented tandooris and exotic Middle Eastern eateries, with Polish delis and oriental health stores dotting the high streets. Now, casual and fine dining options have been added to the menu, along with dozens of street food vendors and even a bakery school by renowned Borough Market bakery Bread Ahead. Truly a foodie heaven with something for everyone.
